Biggest F-ing joke of a tattoo parlor. They not only wouldn't do what I wanted as a tattoo, which only tells me the artist wasn't confident in his artistic abilities but also tells me he couldn't do it. Â Schmo is a schmo! I was hoping his reputation played into what I wanted but a joke and was swindled into putting down a down deposit and when an emergency came up, and I wouldn't be able to be back into town for a couple of months, I lost my down deposit. What kind of business do you run where you can't something back when you cannot control a situation in your life. Horrible customer service. Get some education about customer service and taking care of your customers and you might get more business. As the saying goes in sales, if you have bad customer service you've just lost 10-15 potential clients. Well you've lost them!
Review Source:I walked in to get my first tattoo in January. I decided to get an infinity tattoo that incorporated a cross, heart, and anchor. I was already nervous since it was my first time and I didn't know if I would like the end result.
My artist was Schmo, a very cool and nice guy. I told him what I wanted, he wasn't sure if he could fully incorporate everything I wanted in one continuous tattoo. However, a few minutes later he came back with a stencil that I fell in love with. I always imagined what my tattoo would look like and he definitely surpassed my imagination.
I was nervous that I would experience intense pain, but it didn't hurt as much as what I thought. It was just a stinging feeling. I'm sure I didn't experience that much pain because Schmo is talented.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Great atmosphere, customer service, and very talented artists.
Definitely coming here for my next tattoo :]
Went there on a Sunday whim, was wanting to get a fourth tattoo. Decided to go with a moon on my left foot.
I walked in and Schmo was the one who was up next. He was very nice and friendly. I only waited five minutes (set up time). He was talkative and informed me when everything was happening. It hurt like a.... it's all the bones on the foot.
He drew it out and then put it on stencil. It only took ten minutes and looked fantastic when it was done. He used different levels of shading to it so it had shape and design.
A must if you are thinking about tattoos!
I got my first tattoo 3 days ago, basically a half sleeve. Â I knew exactly what I wanted it to look like, and I chose Aaron for my artist. Â He made it look even better than I had hoped for! Â He worked on my tattoo for 3 hours, and was very focused and professional the whole time. Â The shop was clean and comfortable. Â I highly recommend him!
Review Source:Today I went in to get my second tattoo, some song lyrics in my mother's handwriting. I wanted it on my shoulder/collar bone area. At first, the guy up front said it would have to be 10-25% bigger, and that made me start to reconsider (I don't want huge tattoos).
Aaron told me that he could do it in the writing with the size I wanted and only had to make some loops a little bigger (like the e's) so that over time the letters wouldn't blur together. He drew it out, placed in on my shoulder twice until I liked it, then got to work.
I was surprised at how short of a time it took him to do it, and how little it hurt! I had been told that the area I was getting it done in would be especially painful, but thanks to Aaron's light hand, it was nothing.
It came out wonderfully. It looks exactly like my mother's handwriting, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The price was also very reasonable. I will definitely be going back to Aaron for future tattoos!
I have had three tattoos done at Lost Art, but one was at the Ogden location (is that shop still there?). Â In 2005 I went to Dean Bodily at Lost Art with a photograph and an idea and he drew up an amazing sketch for me, and gave me the best foot tattoo I have ever seen anywhere, really I love it. Â He put soo much detail into it, I am really pleased. Â
The next time I visited Lost Art I went to Jake Miller (now works at 11th Street Electric Gallery or Cathedral Tattoo in SLC) because he had done work on friends and I was impressed, I got a small tattoo on my arm, he did a great job! Â In fact, when I was thinking of getting my next tattoo I went to 11th Street to see Jake, but he wasn't in and the guy I talked to was so rude I decided not to go back. Â
Finally, I went back to Dean at Lost Art to get a cover up done. Â I know cover ups can be tricky, so I'll give him that, but he did a pretty mediocre job. Â I took him a photograph of some flowers and told him I wanted it to look very life-like, just like the photo. Â Instead, I came out with some super cartoony flowers, it's not terrible, but not what I wanted. Â I think he just wasn't very interested in the project. Â Disappointing.
Still I would recommend Lost Art and Dean for a tattoo any day, but I would remind the customer to be very specific about what they want.
Super clean shop, talented artists, it's my fav in SLC.
SLC, you are one lucky city! you are going to be appropriating an amazing tattoo artist, schmoe, this month. Â san jose is sad to see him go, and many will most likely be traveling east from the west coast to see him!
i can say enough good about SCHMOE! from my consultations to my finished work i was nothing less than impressed with his ability to listen to what i wanted as well as execute a perfect piece!
the color and cleaness of the work done by schmoe is amazing! he was very detailed, professional and so pleasent to spend time around while getting worked on. Â the only thing i have to complain about is my other work now has a complex due to the inferriority it faces...
